Strong growth in Americas, Global Technologies, Entrance Systems and EMEA. Negative growth in Asia Pacific due to continued weak demand in China.

Operating income also grew very satisfactorily by a full 13% for the quarter and a total of 20% for the full year. Organic growth was strong, at a full 5% for the quarter. The strong sales trend in the USA, Europe and the Pacific region continued unchanged. The sales trend in the developing countries remained good except in China, where sales continued to fall. However, a weaker demand picture can be perceived in many developing markets, linked to a shortage of financing for major projects. This principally affected Global Technologies. The strong development of electromechanical products continued during the year as our customers are converting from mechanical locks to an ever-increasing extent. It is clear that ASSA ABLOY has established a leadership in this area for both commercial and residential applications. Particularly striking during the year was the strong demand for digital door-locks for so-called home automation in the USA, and for the Cliq system based on the new cloud technology. During the quarter CEDES was acquired an interesting technology company that adds intelligence to connected doors, mainly in Entrance Systems. Another technology acquisition was made in HID through the purchase of IAI, which is a leader in advanced printers mainly for the Government sector and banks. Three acquisitions were also made in Brazil, where ASSA ABLOY has built a market-leading position over a short period.

3 3 Operating income increased by a full 13% during the quarter. The organic growth of 5% resulted in a good underlying growth in the operating margin, to which continued efficiency improvements contributed strongly. Operating margin remained on virtually the same level as in the fourth quarter of 2014 despite higher negative impacts from exchange-rate effects and dilution from acquisitions as a consequence of the many acquisitions made at the end of the year. My judgment is that the global economic trend remains weak. Although America is showing a positive trend, Europe and many of the Emerging Markets are stagnating. However, our strategy of expanding in the Emerging Markets remains unchanged, since they are expected to achieve very good economic growth long term. We are also continuing our investments in new products, especially in the growth area of electromechanics. FOURTH QUARTER The Group s net sales totaled SEK 18,301 M (15,847), an increase of 15% compared with the fourth quarter of Organic growth for comparable units was 5% (3). Acquired units contributed 4% (8). Positive exchange-rate effects had an impact of SEK 983 M (1,129) on sales, that is 6% (9). Operating income before depreciation and amortization, EBITDA, amounted to SEK 3,406 M (2,990). The corresponding EBITDA margin was 18.6% (18.9). The Group s operating income, EBIT, amounted to SEK 3,038 M (2,681), an increase of 13%. The operating margin was 16.6% (16.9). Operating income was affected negatively by provisions made for feared credit losses of SEK 250 M in China. The generally weak demand in the Emerging Markets has also meant that SEK 245 M of performance-based deferred acquisition payments, so-called earn-outs, have been recognized as income because the payments are not expected to happen. Net financial items amounted to SEK -187 M (-129). The Group s income before tax amounted to SEK 2,851 M (2,552), an improvement of 12% compared with the previous year.
